Senior High
Sundays, 5-7 p.m.

Our Goal: To become an intimate family of unique worshippers, encountering God in new ways, and living Christ-like lives! Students rush through the doors each week in an attempt to connect with God and one another (large group, small group, food, and occasional games). The flow of the night varies week to week. In addition, students gather together on Sunday mornings at 9:45 and 11 a.m., taking ownership of their faith and asking honest questions. Northern Hills student ministries are making disciples and reaching out to the community each day.

GUITAR ORCHESTRATIONS
When guitarists get together, music happens. But do they work together like a well-oiled machine. Or do they grind against each like #60 sand paper? In this class, we look at how best to musically compliment each other in an orchestrating fashion, and how, like many parts of His body, to bring glory to God by unifying as one. |
